hey guys,

I am planning to change my dove colored lower dash area to black. I found a few salvage yards that have this black lower dash on a few wrecked 05'-06's. I pictured this lower part below.

Couple of questions, how hard is it to take off and put on these lower pieces? Anyone know how to take off these pieces? Has anyone done this before? What do you think is a reasonable price to pay for these pieces?

thanks guys, you've always been great help!

ok the part under the steering wheel = easy
side panels near the radio = easy
glove box = easy
dash under airbag = unkown/moderate with installation PDF

 

Thanks for that info, it definitely motivates me to do this project!

 

the side panels you can get done in under 20min, just lift up the armrest and there are 2 screws on the plastic that flows down to the radio, just unscrew the screws and pull up on the ebrake then pull up trim around the sifter (if you have a standard then remove the shift boot, if auto then just take off the trim ring, it is all snapped on so no worries) and just pull up on the console, it is held on by clips. After that just manage it off the ebrake and it comes out of the car, then just pull the side panels towards you and it is out. again they are held on by clips so do not worry, then just reverse the disassembly
